"My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. ... That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave." - General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson

I tanned for a few years. Wish I had not...but it does make you feel better for a bit. DOn't do it for very long OP. But I know it is a fun and feels pretty darn good on you. I looked great too. Blonde hair, tanned, thin....WOW I WAS HOT! lol lol

That's only for folks who overuse it. Which the OP hopefully will not. Hopefully.

every time you take excessive uv rays into your skin you are buying a ticket in the cancer lottery. so every time you get in a sunbed you are essentially buying yourself a ticket in the cancer lottery. you dont need to "overuse" to get cancer, itll just increase your chances.

its the same as smoking. you will get someone who smokes for a 5 years and gets cancer, and then someone who smokes a lifetime who doesnt. if you are buying the tickets, you have a chance of hitting the big one.
